Wow. A London to Singapore flight hit some serious turbulence...

... which caused a lot of damage in the plane. But more so, there were a lot of injuries, and one person actually died!

The flight was a Boeing 777... which that is a nice plane... Delta used to use that for the Atlanta-Johannesburg flights. They hit an air pocket that caused the plane to drop 6,000 feet! They hit some very serious turbulence. Look at these photos as to some of the damage that occurred. If I was in a plane at/around 40,000 feet and all of that stuff started happening... man, that is the kind of stuff that lead some folk to never flying again.

Here's an article about the incident
John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

1 Timothy 2:5-6

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.

Acts 4:12

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

You just gave me an idea. I need to go on one of those inventor TV competition shows, and get them to buy into my "toilet seatbelt" for airlines. Although, I can see how there could be some inherent problems with wearing a seatbelt when you're on the toilet, and all of the activities one needs to go through to do their business and get out of there.

I quit flying after a trip to Milwaukee years ago and on final descent the pilot said, “If you look to your right, you’ll see a large blackened area where the plane with this flight number crashed a week ago. When it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go. You better hope it’s not my time to go. Ha ha.”

I took my return flight home and have not been on an airliner since. That was in the mid 90s.
